It is summer time! Enjoy and don’t forget to tag #instantdc / #exposeddc.
It’s always difficult to find different photos to feature, photos that stand out. What makes an image different is hard to define. The goal isn’t to always chase the new and different, but there is a direct relationship between novelty and what is considered worthy of mention. I am still trying to figure it out myself. Of course I would love to discuss this with anyone willing to talk about photography and its discontents: @jamescampbell on Twitter.

This week we have a shoe store, two different construction scenes, bubbles, babies, the metro, a bicycle, two photos of flowers, people in trench coats, people from above, a peacock, and two photos of hands. Enjoy and don’t forget to tag your photos #exposeddc or #instantdc for a chance to show up here. Thanks – J. Campbell
